First new music I've made in a while. An electronic soundscape using 'numbers stations' recordings from shortwave radio.
The track is called 'Irdial' and can be found on Soundcloud here:

'For more than 45 years the Shortwave radio spectrum has been used by the
worlds intelligence agencies to transmit secret messages. These
messages are transmitted by hundreds of “Numbers Stations”.'

Kierkegaard
“What is a poet? An unhappy man who hides deep anguish in his heart, but
whose lips are so formed that when the sigh and cry pass through them,
it sounds like lovely music.... And people flock around the poet and
say: 'Sing again soon' - that is, 'May new sufferings torment your soul
but your lips be fashioned as before, for the cry would only frighten
us, but the music, that is blissful.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or

Trinity (The Wounded Angel, Hugo Simberg)
So this angel
lifting two boys
above
the landscape.
So
the strip of gown,
flown to the ground
kisses earth, almost
under one boy’s mudded
boot.
It’s a
Manichean
mystery of a kind. The
boy in black, with the
fitted hat is thinking:
In
that water
beyond
the bare bush the
Hesperus
lies empty.
So this angel, tipped
forward, doesn’t
see either of the boys
she or he is
lifting.
And they are trying to
push him
or her
into the earth.
